How is SLA Compliance Calculated for Backup Jobs?

Hello Veeam Community,I’m working with Veeam and need clarification on how SLA compliance is calculated in the following scenario:I have an SLA setup with the following settings:RPO (Recovery Point Objective): 8 hoursRTO (Recovery Time Objective): 8 hoursFor a backup job that runs for 24 hours, the results were as follows:20 backup jobs finished within the 8-hour RPO.2 backup jobs took 9 hours to complete (missed the RPO by 1 hour).2 backup jobs failed (no backup completed for these VMs).How does Veeam One calculate RPO compliance in this scenario?

Veeam One Virtual Centre Connections

Morning Veeam Gnu’s ;)Got a fiddly one that I can’t figure out.Veeam One server sits in DR Datacentre. If the link between the Prod and DR datacentre goes wobbly, Veeam One loses its connection and we start to get spurious reports such as snapshots that no longer exist on VMs but still appear in the report.The fix is odd - retype the service account password in Virtual Centre and retry the connection.Is there reg key where I can turn down the sensitivity of Veeam One for the VC connection ? Thanks Phil

How to Avoid Egress Fees when Migrating from Azure Blob to Veeam Data Cloud Vault v2

This blog comes with a high level video overview, written piece is below the video!  Blog/Written Form Avoiding egress fees is a critical factor when considering any data migration. Hyperscalers typically have bandwidth charges for pulling data out in large volumes, as is often the case with backup data. So what are the options? How can you reduce, or eliminate these costs entirely?Let’s take a look at the options, but first - Why Migrate to Veeam Data Cloud Vault v2?Veeam Data Cloud Vault v2 provides a first-party solution that integrates deeply with the Veeam Data Platform.

Using Linux VBR VMware proxies with a .local AD domain name

I am not sure if this has been posted somewhere before but I thought I would post my experience of setting up Linux proxies for our VMware backups and the one issue I ran into. I deployed a couple of Ubuntu 22.04 VMs, as I will be using hot-add for the VM backups. I added them to the VBR server and created a test backup of one VM. First backup attempt and I got this error:Error: Cannot get service content. Soap fault. Temporary failure in name resolution Detail: 'getaddrinfo failed in tcp_connect()', endpoint: 'https://vc.domain.local:443/sdk' SOAP connection is not available. Connection ID: [vc.domain.local]. Failed to create NFC download stream. NFC path: [nfc://conn:vc.domaint.local,nfchost:host-1310340,stg:datastore-1310378@TEST/TEST.vmx]. --tr:Unable to open source file [nfc://conn:vc.domain.local,nfchost:host-1310340,stg: So the key to the problem is “failure in name resolution”.

Task failed. Error: Failed to connect to server IP:11731

Hi all,I have the above error and can’t seem to find a solution. With the research I’ve done so far, some suggested this is an account authentication issue. I’ve ensured that this is not the case. I’ve checked to see if the the port 11731 is being used by another process. It’s not. It’s free and listening. I tried recreating the job, no joy. I’ve rebooted the server to nil effect.Does anyone have any other suggestions?Thanks in advance.

Grafana Dashboard for Veeam Backup & Replication

Greetings, friends! I want to share with you the new Grafana Dashboard for Veeam Backup & Replication, no Enterprise Manager is needed, and it uses 100% VBR API.Small note: For those familiar with the data protection scene, you might recall that we’ve already got a Grafana Dashboard dedicated to the Veeam Enterprise Manager API since 2020. Grafana Dashboard for Veeam Backup & Replication API When you finish this article, if you follow all the steps, you should have something similar to this. It might be different according to your environment, number of days you select, protected workloads, jobs, etc.Dashboard – SummaryJob Historical Information – The very first graph. The most important one in my opinion. Grouped by 24 hours, get to know the status of your policies per day, on a range in time.

Veeam Backup and Replication 12.3 now has NetApp ONTAP SnapDiff API enabled

VBR 12.3 had a pretty big payload across our alliance partners. One of those is the NetApp with the ONTAP SnapDiff API. This is a native change file tracking capability built into the ONTAP OS (differencing engine). This will help customers reduce the amount of time it takes for a NAS backup with changes to complete. This improvement was highly requested by our customers. It is easy to enable when you are adding an “Unstructured Data source” in VBR see link and figure 1 below. Once enabled, you will see messages in the job log on incremental backups figure 2. Please spread the word to your ONTAP customers. This is a v1 version of SnapDiiff more features coming (TBD)😀.Adding Enterprise Storage System as NAS Filer Figure 1 Figure 2Note: There are a few restrictions mentioned in the link above listed below.Native changed files tracking (CFT) is not supported for NetApp ONTAP versions from 9.10.1 to 9.10.1P10.

V13 Changes Summery

There was a very comprehensive forum post https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/deprecated-and-discontinued-features-for-our-2025-release-t97087.html but I want to provide a quick summery of  Changes coming  in V13 (H2 2025) to support planning efforts. As you prepare, it’s advisable to phase out deprecated features and prioritize the removal of discontinued ones.Phasing out underused features allows Veeam to focus resources on areas that provide the most value, enhancing overall product quality. Our goal is to streamline maintenance by removing features that are costly to support, rarely used, or contribute to stability issues.Deprecated FeaturesThe following features will be unavailable in new V13 installations or for newly created jobs, but will remain functional for upgraded installations. These features will be fully removed in V14:Veeam Backup & ReplicationReversed incremental backup mode Retention based on restore points (only time-based retention will be supp

Veeam Backup v13 Preparation

Fellow Veeam Legend ​@MarkBoothman shared an interesting post on the VUG UK Community page and I thought it highly relevant to also be shared with the main Community as a whole as well.Today Anton Gostev, Chief Product Officer at Veeam, created a couple posts on the Veeam Forums I think those anxious for the release of Veam Backup & Replication v13 should be aware of. Starting in v13, Veeam is beginning to deprecate some features, as well as streamline system requirements to make their product better, more secure, and performant. The posts can be viewed at the links below:VBR v13 Deprecated FeaturesVBR v13 System RequirementsOne item of note some of you Linux gurus should really be aware of in the Systems Requirements is the deprecation of CentOS completely → whether VBR or Agent for Linux. So keep that in mind. Some older OS and application versions are also being dropped. So if you haven’t migrated your systems/applications to a newer OS/version, you might want to start consideri

via Veeam Forums - [V13] Deprecated and Discontinued features for our 2025 release

I want to bring everyone’s attention to a very important post on the Veeam Forums that will provide some pre-information on deprecated capabilities and upgrade ‘blockers’ for Veeam Data Platform V13.Recently, ​@Gostev shared an incredibly helpful post now to prepare us all for the V13 upgrade coming “soon” for Veeam Data Platform. You can read the full post here: [V13] Deprecated and Discontinued features for our 2025 releaseProbably my favorite part of this post is the “Discontinued Features” section, where upgrade blockers are identified. Again, quoting the Forums post:Upgrade to V13 will be blocked in presence of the following:1. Jobs with backup metadata still not upgraded to V12 format.2. Backup Copy jobs still in legacy mode.3. Full Veeam Agent for Windows installs prior to V6 (with LocalDB configuration database). This is super helpful information to tackle now, there are some Q&A fielded already in there (hat tip ​@coolsport00) but now is the time to review this information
